Explanation:

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter retaining all properties of that matter type. Compounds are substances with two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Molecules are formed when more than one atom is bonded. Elements cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical reactions.
